Hi There, Wondering if someone could shed some light here? I have installed debian sarge on a IBM eServe 206 with a single SATA drive and the RAID disabled in the bios... then used the xen unstable packages from mirror.clarkson.edu to update the kernel and install xen (kernel-image-2.6.12-xen0), here is my apt sources line: deb http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/xenophilia/xen-debs/debian xen-unstable main The issue is that when i boot into the xen kernel, the boot process gets to this part (see the comment below) and halts. This extract is from a xen test PC that works just to show where it gets to: Bridge firewalling registered md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. <----- gets to here somewhere -----> What i cannot show here (as i am not near the IBM server now), is that it gets to a bit that says something about "NFS root" and thats where it halts.... Does anybody have any idea here? I will post the full output when i get back into work tomorrow morning.

The actual output on the screen was: Bridge firewalling registered md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE. Root NFS: No NFS Server Found VFS Unable to mount root via NFS, trying floppy VSF Insert root floppy and press enter <-- HALT HERE --> So i have reinstalled sarge and now used the packages from http://packages.debianbase.de/ to install XEN and the instructions from http://tomas.andago.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/XenSarge to install and setup.... Upon reboot it gets to the same place as above and automatically reboots the server (i cant tell if its EXCATLY the same place as it happens too fast for me it check). Is there a way to divert the output at boot time, or get it NOT to autoamtcally reboot? This seems to be an issue with the IBM xSeries 206 and Xen? We are running a SATA drive with this.

We are > running a SATA drive with this.Found the issue here!!! Under the standard debian sarge 2.4 kernel, the SATA hard drive shows up as /dev/hdX, but under the xen 2.6 kernel its a /dev/sdX, updated the grub menu.lst, and away we go!.
